Successful lobbying 倡議成果
Hong Kong Unison is pleased to report that the Education Bureau (EDB) will increase the accountability and transparency of additional funding to schools for non-Chinese speaking (NCS) students after our continuous lobbying. Starting from the 2021/22 school year, schools are required to provide a bilingual summary in both Chinese and English, explaining how they have supported NCS students’ learning of Chinese and created an inclusive learning environment in the schools in the preceding school year, and the summary shall be uploaded to their school webpages for parents’ reference.
At every opportunity, Hong Kong Unison emphasized to the EDB the importance of enhancing the professional capability for supporting NCS students. Under the new funding arrangements, teachers are encouraged to participate in professional development activities and school-based support services related to supporting NCS students so as to enhance their professional capability for teaching NCS students and their cultural and religious sensitivity in taking care of NCS students. Hong Kong Unison hopes, however, that this eventually becomes a mandatory requirement rather than a choice.
經香港融樂會不懈倡議，教育局將會對「支援非華語學生的額外撥款」增加透明度及問責性。自下學年始，每間學校必須以中英雙語撰寫概要，說明學校在上學年如何支援非華語生中文學習及創造共融學習環境；該概要同時須上載至學校網頁，供家長參考。
我們經常向教育局強調，增強支援非華語生的專業能力，實至關重要。新的撥款安排鼓勵教師參加與「支援非華語學生相關」的專業發展項目及校本支援服務，以提升其文化與宗教敏感度，及教授非華語生的專業能力。我們希望，這不止於「鼓勵」，而是一項「要求」。
